those on the highway at the time a lucky escape about an incident which clearly left them shocked earlier my colleague carrie johnston talked to a witness who stopped his car and got out to help the injured including the flight attendant who has since died in the hospital he explained to us how he found her and shared some of the dramatic video he shot. i was the first to get the i saw the flight attendants asking for help to get the other flight attendant so we had to go inside the plane just me and a few other volunteers. we followed the blood trail looking for the finally found her further down the cabin. trying to get to the highway that she had some very bad and head injuries and both her legs were broken iranians were hurting from the jet fuel that had come out but she was in a really bad shape still conscious. the same thing.

she can saying that your eyes and legs were hurting and in the exhaust you to be put on the ground she was in the shock and disoriented they were only four or five people who volunteered to help. others were too scared to go near the planes as the engine was in fire and they couldn't put a turn for twenty minutes so we were the only ones to give some help. well as we mentioned of the crash has now claimed the lives of five people who were on board the other three are still in critical condition now investigators are trying to fathom why the two block two or four careened off the runway is a relatively new type of aircraft which had never before been involved in a deadly crash. outlines how the tragedy happened step by step and denial this summer the last working day of two thousand and twelve in russia. business is closed off till the next year families. jump into their cars and escape the busy capital. highway heads to the west of moscow region where most of

the luxury estates and country houses are located traffic jams are common this time of the day this time of the year but one of the road is almost. passengers come out of the car to see what the sound was a big step to see anything but not this. just minutes before that at two can have to call for flight number ninety six and it begins landed a look at the first time to a son successful the plane makes a round over the airport and begins to send in for a second time when they start and the plane touches down but can stall the experienced crew as that moment very slightly knows already they will not make it

the jet reaches the end of the runway rams into the friends but still continues moving and it finally stops after overrunning the asteroid by four hundred meters the plane breaks into three parts of tail is lying over there in the holy of the road people can easily see it's number are a six four zero four seven the middle pod just five minutes away the cockpit already partially damaged after the crash with the friends fall right at the edge of the highway it's a miracle indeed the road is empty at that time this is a ten lane highway the wreckage is only on one of the lanes of traffic continues on at least three here even after the tragedy is passing by slowed down to see what happened they notice and then playing with my on the road the very road they usually drive every friday and everybody thinks at that moment what's eve i would have come minutes i heard it was eve i have been on that airplane people come out

of their cars and try to help out. in the cockpit however the exact. weather conditions technical failure and pilot error are among the investigators main causes of the use and would most likely a combination of reasons behind a fatal crash however a plane he chain a busy highway in one of europe's biggest cities could have left a much more devastating trail of destruction. more pictures and i witness accounts from the scene of the accident our on our website where you can also find out more about the plane itself that's at our team dot com. from new year's day the adoption of russian children by u.s. citizens will no longer be possible after president putin signed the measure into law it's a tit for tat response to america's sanctions against russian officials which it sees as human rights violators as more on the diplomatic spat. you have to

understand that the law the so-called dental magnitsky law actually deals primarily a with the employees in travel and financial strictures on the number of american officials and persons who have committed crimes against russian citizens and only only part of the law actually bans the adoption of russian children of by american citizens it has been in part inspired of by the case of deal with the outcome of a russian toddler who was adopted by the american family in two thousand and nine and died in their custody several months later after his father left him in a locked in the car in the street heat for nine hours the russian lawmakers feel that the american also system does not provide adequate adequate protection for the russian kids and also does not punish those responsible for as it does of russian kids for example do you call his father adoptive father walked away with a fine aside from this new law russian lawmakers are also pledging to improve the

lives of the orphans and also improve their situation in russia but this new particular law is seen as a response to the so-called magnitsky act which was adopted in the united states just a couple of weeks ago. which entails a list of russian officials whom the united states believed to be involved in the case of ciggy magness ski a russian lawyer who was charged with tax evasion put in preliminary confinement and then died while in custody now so game against his family friends and several few unwise organizations believe the charges against him these two were trumped up and that he died in custody from. these two acts are seen as the latest developments in the ongoing tit for tat diplomatic battle which seems to be going on despite the a reset button pushed several years ago russian studies and history professor steven cohen from new york and princeton university says he's never been under any illusion about russian u.s.

relations. there's an old russian saying we're friends are also deeds a lot of people in moscow and in washington when they pass the magnitsky act and now the ban on adoption in moscow may have thought they were just talking showing off playing grandstanding politically as we say in america but these words have consequences they have bet they fuel all this new cold war atmosphere which is enveloping the relationship between our two countries it's going to affect american relations with russia regarding afghanistan regarding missile defense regarding syria regarding iran these are very serious matters obama has continued the policy toward moscow begun by president clinton a democrat and continued by president bush a republican that policy is advancing nato toward russia's borders building missile defense on russia's borders interfering in russia's interests of politics most

recently the street demonstrations this is the same policy that began twenty years ago with the soviet union. iran is rolling out the big guns in the persian gulf iran undertakes massive navy drills in the strategic strait of hormuz to show the world what it's got if trouble comes a calling as we report after this break. so how much does it take to get into russian politics how many hours of hard work and how many patriotic deeds does it take to become one of the people who make the decisions and the world's largest country well i'll tell you how much it takes exactly seven point five million euros russia's federal investigative committee has a stablished that allegedly he of and constantine should show from faire russia and the commies prospectively promised for a fee to get

a businessman on to their party's electoral lists giving him a spot in the lower house of the duma the investigators have forwarded the state duma an official request to strip the two m.p.'s of their parliamentary immunity and you're darn right they better street have their parliamentary immunity stripped i mean what's worse than government corruption some people in the government being so corrupt they can actually sell the government itself to someone for a fee so positions in parliament corruption on this high of a level needs to be punished severely breaking rocks in siberia or worse sounds pretty good to me tolerating flagrant corruption does not a great civilization make but that's just my opinion. like those decades. if you just keep killing each. other country there would be just silly.

self-imposed costs from society i will attack myself chemical attack my brother understand my. going to be basically attack the cause of my anger and my frustration. that. i don't want. to lose the most violent gangs in us history. it's just all model cool of the chill with colors matching the national flag.

but this country uses violence when it reaches its and it legitimizes the violence they all made in america on the oxy. this year will be soon which brighter if you remove it. from the list impression it's. starts on t.v. don't come. in broadcasting a lot from the final hours of two thousand and twelve this is our team glad to have you with us egypt's president morsi has made an attempt to ease a political tensions in the country calling on the opposition to engage in dialogue

but his offer was met with skepticism since it came shortly after the launch of an investigation into his three top opponents the chief prosecutor is citing allegations that opposition leaders including nobel prize winner mohamed el baradei inside of their supporters to topple morsi earlier this week it was announced of the divisive new constitution was approved by over sixty percent of egyptians in a two stage referendum the opposition claims that the islamist drive to document in shrines sharia law and only got a yes vote because of fraud neil clark a world affairs contributor for britain's guardian newspaper explains to us why morsi doesn't feel secure even after winning the referendum. i think he wants to sort of deflect attention from the economy because the underlying problem paint the biggest we're facing is the economic crisis one of four egyptians without jobs poverty on the rise he's just and he subsidies on fuel which means that the prices of gas and city are going to rocket and so this is a kind of a sort of smokescreen for him and he was very keen to get the opposition tied up in

these the legal challenges to sort of stop them from focusing on opposing him on the issues where he's he's very weak and i think also he be worried that you know a sizeable minority thirty six over thirty six percent of people voted against the constitution and the fact seems to be that that he said what is on the wane. and i think that obviously you know i think we can see more protests in the new year. and while the so-called fiscal cliff deadline hangs heavy there is still no deal inside between the firmly entrenched republicans and democrats millions of americans as standard to see their taxes go up dramatically on new year's day but the sticking points are holding up negotiations are the rates for the rich the republicans are rejecting any deal that would see those taxes rise while the democrats insist the wealthy could pay a little more charlie mcgrath founder of y. the way news says it's ironic that the u.s. is main parties have difficulty reaching a deal on policies to aid the nation's poor but had little trouble agreeing on with

the defense budget. when the cameras are on you know they're on the ready they're coming out they're saying it's the welfare of all that's a people on food stamps or the people in extended unemployment benefits if they're on the blue team they're coming out and trying to get their base fired up that it's all about corporate interests and this is why we can't come up video but isn't it amazing when the cameras are off and it's time to pass a trillion dollar nearly trillion dollar defense bill they have no problem whatsoever coming to coming together and holding hands or put that kind of a deal together since two thousand and one namely we've been covering this nation by proxy the world by crisis and it doesn't matter who gets hurt who's good who gets left by the wayside as long as a special interest is served so is long as it's always under the shadow of crisis they will act but when it's on the when it has to do with acting in behalf of the people of this nation it seems like the people always take a backseat. the end of the year in iran is being marked by massive naval drills

held in the strait of hormuz one of the world's busiest oil shipping routes submarines warships and jet fighters are taking part with the aim of proving tehran is well equipped to defend its maritime borders the maneuvers come as the west builds up the pressure over iran's nuclear program piling on sanctions against the country tehran warned a few months ago that it could block this trade but its navy commanders say that's not on the agenda now professor saeed mohammad marandi from tehran university explains why the iranians don't think there's any danger of a military confrontation in the near future. in the sense that western countries are brutal and uncivilized enough to carry out an attack i think that that's clear to the iranians the fact that western countries are imposing sanctions and embargo on it on iran they're trying to prevent iran from even importing and exporting medicine and food stuffs by blocking the central bank and there are shortages of

some medicines right now in iran and people have died so the fact that the western countries are willing to kill ordinary people and to make people suffer i think makes it clear that the idea of carrying out an attack on iran is something that they would contemplate if they could but i think on the other hand the iranians believe that western countries are much weaker today than they ever were before the defeat in iraq and afghanistan the setbacks in fact that israel had in lebanon and gaza make as well the economic crisis in europe and north america make it highly unlikely but the iranians have prepared themselves and i think that itself has been it took deterrence to war so the i think in general the iranians feel that a military assault on iran aggression would be highly unlikely. when the fighting between the syrian army and opposition forces has intensified in part of damascus on sunday rebels claim they have targeted the presidential palace with shells

meanwhile russia says that the refusal of syria's calculation coalition to talk with the government only paves the way for further bloodshed at a meeting in moscow both foreign minister sergey lavrov and international peace envoy lakhdar brahimi said that dialogue is the only way to resolve the conflict lavrov also reiterated that although russia condemns the methods used by the syrian army in the war it will take no part in a regime change was his response to the leader of a series of key rebel groups who demanded moscow apologize for what he described as support for president. pretty emotional response i understand that mr had tb is probably not very experienced in politics if he's looking to be a serious politician it is in his interest to hear our position from us and not from the media that sometimes discords information just so i'll repeat we're ready to talk to or opposition forces but we start from the premise that they should not only think about their own ambitions but also the fate of the syrian people and if

they think that russia could play a role in the country's tragedy they should meet our representatives with their preconditions official notice saying with syria now as our reporters who are on the ground throughout the year recall the events that shaped the country in two thousand and twelve. it became very apparent after a massive regional arab spring and in the wake of that the next context of a pro-democracy movement and a revolution or civil war was not what was happening in syria when you see some politicians there and the media focusing just compared them to saddam cracking down on his people you think but what about the other guy on top of the politics and

diplomacy there are facts that are simply too important to ignore. i remember i was a training session of the syrian football team and the coach was very angry with how his players were practice and he was shouting he was swearing from time to time and then i move my head like this just like this and i saw two helicopters flying at very low altitude and firing we were at each other's hotel restaurant and close to us there was a group or rich syrians playing cards from smoking living life as usual and just before that as me and my colleagues were live in the local t.v. stations there was an almost lost a few blocks away most likely terror attack most likely people have been killed and what struck you was the coexistence of those two. reality was the death of the law of the most interesting interaction for me with assad happened before and after the interview obviously and that's often the case. i asked him if he's

afraid. and said no. he said no i'm not afraid that's i'm the one with the you believe the person or not and the only reason you know if he's right or wrong is intuitional i think series becoming the next iraq it's a country that is totally disempower. and don't surprise anybody like in the case of iraq all this harm was done to syria and the substantial how the outside is on the guise of democratic and. let's take a look at some more headlines making news around the world this hour gunfire during anti-government protests near the western iraqi city of ramadi has left two people wounded bodyguards for the iraqi deputy prime minister fired the shots several reports say he was hit in the face with a bottle as he gave a speech during the rally there have been more than

a week of protests which have seen sunni muslims protest against what they see as a second class treatment from the shia led government. u.n. secretary general ban ki moon has urged india's authorities to take action to protect women after twenty three year old student died after being gang raped the victim's body was cremated in new delhi the attack then sparked days of riots with protesters demanding harsher penalties for acts of violence against women six suspects are currently being held over the assault they could face the death penalty if convicted. in a landslide in central colombia has trapped at least twenty people on a highway near the city of. according to officials seven cars are buried under mud and rocks the rescue operation is underway with over three hundred emergency workers at the scene and six people saved so far. now more news in just over thirty minutes time here are to you but before that we reveal more of the

deadly gang wars in the city of angels after the show. which is slough and enough a knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first. for him it's a daily routine that you're soft as a horse breeder on the island of horn at the heart of bike all his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and his horses what they're sometimes it gets lonely here but horses have become part of me now i've fallen off so many

times sometimes they bites as well it's part of my everyday life. i holmes been home too it makes the rats locally just laugh for centuries most still live off the land believe cattle and fish every evening local villagers place their nets and in the morning the catch is always good. we always have enough here . if by call is often called the pearl of siberia and horn is said to be the pearl of by call it's a land of fake forests. and vast staps. it's also a place of ancient traditions respected by locals and travelers alike eric with a cough an economist turned adventurer has crisscrossed by call shores and learned

to. thrill seekers but those used to five star pampering and maybe even for a surprise the island's infrastructure has yet to catch up with the growing demand here quite some way from civilization here accommodation on the island is very basic so you can forget about a t.v. or even run in water for most people a tent is the only real option but for those who come here it's exactly what they're looking for.

people who believe the engine to buy coal can be a unique trip of a lifetime and the local say once you've seen it you'll be coming back again and again. it will. go to school six in the morning and he is going to school so you've got the words of a sick man in his world be up there are no want to just rooms and the do some like that. we've been burying and want to offer is one our comrades and we. at the funeral when another one of our way gets killed at the gill.

so as we live amongst each other there might be one street it might be one gas station this service to with three different gangs when i get to the gas station i have to find out what are your intentions with me while i'm pumping gas so i came out term are back and allow you to shoot me or hit me in the back of it to look you in your eyes and see your intentions and when i look you in your eyes i'm looking to see if you would. to feel wolf and i'm a wolf then we need to come to some sort of agreement so we can both get out of here peacefully. and if your porch up i'm happy with me going to my guestbook up i appreciate you being here when i was in the communities talking to guys in the game seeing lots of content and with that so many of these particularly the younger guys had never seen the pacific ocean in a gang infested community there are situations where people will not believe a given ten block radius for years polite this method though they don't go no where they got a fuck about it to the bomb
